Remedes souverains contre la peste & la mort soudaine. Avec des Prieres pour cet effet.
A devotional and medical treatise in French by Estienne Binet, printed in Paris by Sebastien Chappelet in 1629, offering spiritual remedies and prayers against plague and sudden death. The pictures are close-set letterpress pages in a small serif roman type with Latin liturgical text and French prose, showing ink-dense text blocks on uneven paper; a designer might draw on their tight justified columns, mixed Latin and French lines, and the dense texture of early seventeenth-century typography.
